For his sake? Riiiiiiiiiiiight. :lol:

I don't think you can this conclusion with any amount of certainty. I've seen "squeaky wheels" that are DMs, players, or even people who don't play the game at all. They should base their design on good, solid feedback when available, not base it on who can start the most threads and create the...

You just described the show I was quoting! :lol: Except it wasn't American and it worked in it's own way. Never actually saw The Good Life, just couldn't resist quoting my namesake's reaction to that type of show.

No! No! NO! NO! We're not watching the bloody Good Life! Bloody bloody bloody! I hate it! It's so bloody nice! Felicity "Treacle" Kendall and Richard "Sugar-Flavored-Snot" Briars! What do they do now? Chocolate bloody button ads, that's what! They're nothing but a couple of reactionary...

Not even close. Complaints are flying out of both sides of this discussion, but there's no reason to turn this into a flame war. And a good way to avoid veering into flamewar territory is to let go of the hate. It helps one's case much more when discussing a dislike and the reasoning behind...

We're not "Pro-DoaM", we're Pro-Choice. :) To be clear, I personally won't be unhappy if DoaM is removed. I just said that I trust WotC's feedback way more than the gnashing of teeth, even if it did get it's own sub-forum. I think you're placing an inflated level of importance on the...

I'm glad you used that comparison. It illustrates why I don't believe DoaM is a base assumption of the game. The LG requirement (when included) makes all Paladins LG. I see the argument against that (whether I agree with it or not). DoaM as one choice in the Fighter's repretoire does not make...

Wow. So, your "compromise" is to remove anything that makes people unhappy. Well then lets remove levels, alignment, classes, skills, feats, alot of spells, should I go on? Do you assume DoaM wouldn't make people unhappy if removed because of an ENWorld poll and your own personal experience? I...

So, every single Ranged Fighter should work the same way? Every guy who weilds a big sword should fight exactly the same way? You know there've been complaints for a long time about how boring the Fighter is, right? Just use the Kragle, Lord Business, and your game will be just perfect. You...

You are assuming that there are NO other Archery paths. That's a HUGE assumption. If there is only one in the final game, I surely won't be happy with that design choice. BS. You tell your players "Any option that gives a flat +1 bonus to hit is not valid in my game." Just like others can tell...

I dunno. I'm sure some people get a bug up their butt about the problem du jour but ignore their own unhealthy behaviors. The guy at the local homeopathic/natural market telling me all about the virtues of omega-3 oils, vitamin D, probiotics, and a wheat grass-like supplement sure smelled like a...

You do realize people already meant this. That the GWF subclass was optional. Word quibble. And, again, it's only one option now. There may just as well be multiple paths for a "Great Weapon Fighter" (Guy With Big Sword) to chose from that do not contain DOAM. So, I think many people would...

A fitting end. I think people should have a choice as well. But, if you're going to smoke, at least stay away from the chemical cocktail of addiction that industry serves up. It's funny thinking back to the fast food thread, wondering how many people there that railed against process foods smoke...

I think the only industry I'd really never want to work in is the tobacco industry. And, if marijuana were to have such widespread legality to qualify as an industry I couldn't work within it either. I'm an accountant, so my job really only differs by industry type (manufacturing, service...

You know, if those lazy WotC designers would just finish work on their EoD* service, we wouldn't have to endure threads like these anymore. *Edition on Demand

There is no need to source the terminilogy. The terminology may have been developed by the Forge (I'm not familiar enough with them to say one way or the other), but these elements existed before they codified it. Much like roles were codified (Defender, Striker, Leader, Controller) in 4E, but...

Man, I been doin' it wrong for so long. :) I don't actually like Storygames. The rules frame the scenes instead of framing the fictional actions of your character. It's still a game and many people enjoy them (inlcuding my wife), but it's not what I'm looking for. Yet I still play to my...

Yep, and I've got friends who play the same way. How is the game then designed for them (if I'm understanding you correctly)? And I approach the same game differently. I make decisions in character that are not meant to solve the game or optimize my character, or even optimize his chances...

If you demand to deal in absolutes then my response to the above is "No." The rules sets were designed to adjudicate actions a fictional persona takes within the fictional world. They were not designed to be code-broken as a player always tries to figure out the "right" way to game the system...
